Well the navy admitted it happens and that's the scientific fact that this rich person beach protection crew is exploiting. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/does-military-sonar-kill/#:~:text=While%20little%20is%20known%20about,from%20the%20sounds%20of%20sonar.

This is from 2009 but I believe the navy has admitted this since at least 2002

Military sonar, not ground mapping sonar. Vastly more powerful and literally causes fatal internal bleeding in whales.

To be clear, the fish finder radar under a boat is not what we're talking about. We're talking about the extremely powerful "pings" used to find submarines. This is even painful or fatal for humans if they are near a sub when a ping goes out.

I'm sorry but Macy's is a block from Penn Station and connects to Herald Square with a bunch of subways and the PATH. I don't see the problem here.

I hear you but given the licensing bottleneck we're still on the "handful of stores charging whatever they want" phase and since prices are so high there's still a thriving illicit market.

I deadass thought America was 1/4 Irish, 1/4 Italian, 1/4 Jewish, and 1/4 Black.

As a Jersey gentile, the Jewish holidays are part of the rhythm of life and community. when my neighbors celebrate, I celebrate that. Happy Hanukkah.

And to every community in NJ, we are in community with you. Nobody does the melting pot like we do.

I mean I guess continuous on a short time scale, but not continuous like "for 1000" years. Maybe a decade? I don't know how long binary neutron star explosions last

1. Advanced civilizations probably don't use omnidirectional signals because it's a massive waste of energy. Their transmitters and receivers are probably set up for signals to be sent in one direction like a laser. You could even transmit power like this.
2. You could detect such a tightbeam signal from very far away. There is even a theory referenced here that the famous WOW! signal was a tiny bit of leakage from a power transmission.
3. If alien civilizations do want to be found, one way they could make it easier to find them would be to beam a signal at a cosmic event which they are certain any civ with telescopes will look at. That way, any civilizations on the other side of the event from your beam will open up their data and say "huh, that shouldn't be there."
4. (It's also possible that they would send a signal to that event for reasons other than communication, I guess like a very patient version of radar? but anyway)
5. In other words: I, an advanced alien, have spotted a binary neutron star pair in the next galaxy over. I know it will take my signal 250k light years to get there, but that happens to be exactly when these two stars will end their dance in a kilonova. However, I know any fresh young civs will definitely be awed by the big explosion it makes, so they will all turn their telescopes at it. Being ancient and alien and inscrutable, I send this signal even though I will likely be long dead before it's even partway there. 250k years later, the signal arrives at the massive explosion.
6. Another half million years later, someone on Earth---which happens to be more or less exactly on the other side of that binary star pair from our old alien friend---records this explosion, and then notices there's an artificial signal buried in there on top of the stuff that looks like every other explosion. If they talk to aliens anything like we do, we're left very disappointed by some mathematical universal constants and a picture of what they looked like naked. (We could probably actually learn some tech by figuring out how they made such a powerful signal but I like my version better)

anyway this was my best tl;dr
